to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover.

PREFACE; 


HE  use  6f  a  Universal  Gazetteer,  to  those  who  feel  alny  interest 
at  all  in  what  is  going  on  in  the  world  at  large,  is  too  obvious 
to  need  pointing  biit.  Its  name  seems  to  imply,  that  it  is  the  cbmpa- 
nion,  or  accompaniment  of  the  newspaper,  or  gazette,  whibh  latter 
name  was  derived  froin  the gazettd^  a  small  coin  of  Venice,  the  origi- 
nal price  of  these  periodical  chronicles  in  that  commercial  republic^ 

A  work  of  this  kind;  necessarily  formed  of  maieriMs  bfoii^Iit  hotti 
every  quarter  of  the  world,  at  uncertain  and  different  periods,  ahd» 
generally  by  we  know  not  whom,  is  peculiarly  liable  to  errors,  and 
the  compiler  must  confine  himself  within  very  narrow  bouhds,  in-* 
deed,  if  he  do  not  subihit  to  these  imperfectioiis. 

In  the  compilation  of  this  Work,  the  latest  and  most  authentic  ac- 
counts have  been  consulted;  from  travelling,  the  author  bias  beeheri- 
^bled  to  correct  several  error$,  and  from  correspondents  h^  has  re- 
ceived descriptions  of  some  placed^  which  are  certainly  the  best  and 
most  accuriuc  that  have  been  yet  ofiered  to  the  public  in  this  way. 

Towns  and  pkccBS  of  note  ar^  described  at  length,  or  form  distinct 
paragn^'hS;  the  naines  of  these  ar6  givcii  in  capitals.  Thbse  to  which 
an  asterisk,  or  star,  is  prefixed,  dre  the  post  towns  of  Great  Britaid 
and  Ireland.  Even  Villages,  hamlets;  and  single  houses,  iti  theit 
islands,  haV6  be^n  mciritioned,  and,  in  some  instances,  their  situatioh^ 
pretty  precisely  told;  bat  tbese,  as  inferioi'  articles,  ar^  given  in  si 
different  character,  or  letter,  and  do  npt  •  form  different  paragraphs, 
but  are  carried  on  in  continuity,  generally  forming  only  distinct  pe- 
riods. The  expressions  of  inferior  and  cohsicUravU;  or  of  heic^  ard 
sieant  not  ia  reference  to  wealth  but  to  population.  If  errors  occur 
io  the  places  of  less  note,  which  they  probably  may;  or,  indeed,  ne- 
cessarily must,  (for,  in  attehipting  to  make  this  the  Completest  geo- 
graphical index  extant,  works  of  more  dubious  authority  have  also 
neeb  con^lted)  it  may  be  w^ll  enough  to  caution  the  i^dtr  to  sus- 
pend hit  analogical  conclusionil  **that  if  s^place,  which  he  knows, 
be  inaccurately  described,  he  may  reasonably  suppose  that  others  ar0 
also  incorrect,  and  that  places  more  remote,  or  distant,  must  neces- 
nrilv  be  more  false.'*  It  ^ill  only,  in  inch  c«fee,  be  the  part  of 
candour  to  consider,  that  such  places  are,  perhaps,  but  little  visited 
by  ttavellerSy  and  scarcely  known  beyond  their  oWn  vicinity )  and 
tnat  if  he.  Or  some  of  his  liberal-minded  neighbours,  do  not  commu- 
nicate belter  inforroatio'n  to  the  compiler,  the  errOr  i^  Ukely  to  be 
continued. 

A  2  And 


iv  PREFACE. 

'  And  here  the  author  hop«s  it  will  not  be  thought  improper,  if  h^ 
takes  the  liberty  to  suggest  to  men  of  leisure  and  information*  whe- 
ther they  may  not  apply  a  few  moments  of  their  time»  in  a  way  sa» 
tisfactory  to  themselves,  and  useful  to  the  public,  in  communicating 
to  the  gazetteer- makers  topographical  information.  If  such  will  have 
the  kindness  to  contribute  to  this  work,  their  communications  will 
be  gratefully  received;  here  also  he  may  acknowledge  to  have  re* 
ceived  from  several  of  his  friends,  and  even  from  strangers,  of  this 
description,  both  of  the  established  religion  and  dissenters,  very  li- 
beral encouragement  in  the  prosecution  of  this  work.  But  the  pre- 
sent js  a  production  which  it  does  not  require  erudition  to  find  fault 
with  or  amend.  There  is  scarcely  any  individual  but  may  suggest 
improvements,  or  give  useful  information,  on  some  place  which  he 
knows :  and  every  reader,  from  the  school -boy  to  the  man  in  years, 
who  shall  communicate  amendments,  will  confer  an  obligation  on 
the  author. 

All  who  may  have  the  liberality  thus  to  yield  assistance  to  the 
work,  are  requested  particularly  to  give  information  on  such  subjects 
as  the  following,  or  as  an  answer  to  any  of  these  queries: — JVkat  is 
the  place? — JVnat  its  namef-^^In  what  district  situated? -^How  m^ny 
houses  or  people? — What  the  soil? — What  the  appearance  ofthesur^ 
rounding  country  ?^^By  what  production  or  manufacture  are  they 
enabled  to  support  themselves^  pay  (flxes^  &c.? — What  curiosities 
have  they  or  had  they^  natural  or  artificial? — What  particular  cus^ 
toms? — What  public  establishments  of  infirmaries^  Hospitals^  Schools^ 
Libraries^  &c,? — What  the  situation  of  the  place? — On  hill  or- in 
vale;  on  what  road  or  highway;  or  on  what  river,  bay^  creek,  or 
sea? — And  what  are  its  distance  and  bearings  from  other  places^ 
&c,? — What  places  already  mentioned  in  this  work  are  so  insignifi- 
cant,  that  they  ought  to  be  omitted? — And  which  are  so  important 
that  they  ought  to  form  distinct  paragraphs? 

It  may  be  necessary  here  to  notice  the  improvements  introduced 
into  all  parts  of  the  present  edition,  as  the  proprietors  encouraged  by 
the  flattering  reception  with  which  the  nrst  edition  was  favoured, 
have  spared  no  exertion  or  expence  to  render  this  extensive  Gazet- 
teer still  more  worthy  of  the  public  patronage. 

In  the  execution  of  this  task,  and  in  order  to  render  the  following 
sheets  as  complete  as  the  nature  of  the  work  will  admit,  the  attention 
ot  the  publishers  has  been  partici?lar!y  directed  to  the  inserting  such 
omissions,  and  correcting  such  srrors,  as  must  have  unavoidably 
escaped  the  author,  in  compiling  so  laborious  a  work. 

In  the  first  edition,  no  notice  was  taken  of  a  subject  affording  much 
useful  and  necessary  information,  although  a  heavy  national  calamity, 
viz.  War;  nor  of  the  facts  and  circumstances  relating  to  it;,  military 
apd  naval  establishments,  fortifications,  battles,  sieges,  and  other 
remarkable  operations  and  events,  by  which  the  most  important 
changes  are  produced  in  the  poliiical  slate  of  nations. 

In 


PREFACE,  y 

In  the  description  of  a  considerable  number  of  the  principal  empires 
iod  countries^  the  usual  division  of  the  regions  (in  common  with  all  our 
competitors)  was  erroneous;  the  geographical  positi(Hi,  bearitigs  dis- 
taoces,  &c.  of  places,  were  not  laid  down  with  uniform  accuracy  ;  nor 
was  the  least  attention  paid  to  the  markets  and  principal  fairs  in  the  se- 
veral counties  of  England  and  Wales.  Many  mistakes  have  also  arisen 
from  the  same  words  occurring  frequently  in  various  parts,  witli  differ- 
em  spellings,  &c.  &c.  all  which  deficiences  and  inaccuracies  have,  in 
this  edition,  been  duly  attended  to  and  remedied:  the  whole  of  this 
Gazetteer  having  been  lately  revised  and  corrected  at  a  very  great  ex- 
pence,  and  with  unremitting  attention  and  assiduity. 

Some  considerable  improvements  have  likewise  been  introduced,  by 
adding  to  the  composition  of  this  work,  a  number  of  remarkable  and 
important  places  omitted  in  the  late  edition.  The  reader  may  also  find 
much  new  and  interesting  information  in  the  numerous  additions  oc- 
casiraally  made  to  places  already  noticed,  several  of  which  will  be 
found  to  be  considerably  improved,  if  not  written  entirely  new ;  not- 
withstanding which,  the  work,  although  considerably  augmented  in 
valaable  ana  authentic  nomenclature,  is  yet  not  enlarged  in  size  and 
price, 

The  insertions  made,  include  dififerent  topics  of  designation  and  de- 
scription, but  chiefly  relate  to  the  curiosities  of  nature  and  ai-t,  na- 
tural productions,  forms  of  government,  military  and  naval  affairs, 
iolana  navigations,  manufactures,  magnificent  public  buildings,  and 
the  remains  of  remarkable  antiquities;  with  several  original  communi- 
cations addressed  to  the  editor,  pointing  out  sources  of  information  and 
improvement,  not  often  to  be  met  with. 

These  additions  the  editor  has  been  enabled  to  make,  by  omitting 
the  latitudes  and  longitudes  of  places  apparently  insignificant,  or  whose 
situations  may  be  easily  ascertained  by  a  reference  to  other  places  ge- 
nerally known ;  by  reducing  and  narrowing  some  accounts  rather  too 
circumstantial  and  minute,  for  an  abridgment;  and  by  expunging  se- 
veral articles  of  less  essential  importance,  which,  though  not  unworthy 
of  attention,  leave  little  room  for  others  that,  on  further  consideration, 
appear  to  be  more  useful  and  interesting. 

* 

The  editor,  however,  in  stating  the  progressive  improvements  by 
which  he  has  added  to  the  stock  of  knowledge  contained  in  our  Geo- 
graphical Dictionaries,  does  not  thereby  mean  to  assert,  that  he  has  so 
xally  executed  his  plan,  but  that  he  himself  can  discover  some  faults 
and  imperfections  both  in  the  work  and  its  execution.  Much  has 
been  done,  yet  much  remains  undone,  to  improve  and  bring  to  perfec- 
tion the  arduous  task  of  compiling  Gazetteers  and  Dictionaries.  It  is 
only  by  slow  degrees,  and  Iqng  and  persevering  exertions,  continued 
through  several  centuries,  that  this  comprehensive  subject  can  be  ex- 
pected to  arrive  at  extensive  usefulness ;  but,  from  the  mutability  of 
things,  it  can  never  be  finally  brought  to  a  state  of  full  perfection.

The  pubUmrs,  bowevei-r  not  presuming  to  siigge^tthat  they  baye 
completely  succeeded  in  the  execution  of  this  qnde^king,  yet  relyins 
on  tne  candid  decision  of  a  discerning  public,  hope,  with  some  confi*

PREFACE 


PREFACE 

TO    THj: 

THIRD   EDITION. 


THE  intelligent  reader  will  readily  discern,  that  the  |[>recedin^ 
Preface  is  partly  compiled  from  the  materials  furiiishecl  by 
Dr.  Walker  in  the  first  edition;  and  that  it  was  judged  necessary  co 
add  a  few  observations,  explaining  such  further  particulars,  of  correc. 
tion  and  improvement,  as  had  been  introduced  mto  the  second. 

In  that  edition,  many  mistakes  were  rectified,  and  the  insertions 
qiade  were  so  very  numerous  and  important,  as  greatly  to  add  to  the  re- 

?' utation  and  value  of  the  work ;  indeed,  the  reception  it  has  met  with 
.  as  been  so  favourable,  and  the  consequent  demand  for  it  souncommotf^ 
tbat  the  Editor  can  announce,  with  peculiar  satisfaction,  the  rapid  sale 
of  a  very  large  impression,  within  the  space  of  two  years. 

This  Preface  is  still  retained,  to  enable  the  reader  to  survey  the  ori* 
gin  and  progress  of  the  undertaking,  and  to  enter  more  readily  into  the 
merits  01  the  different  editions ;  but  in  a  work  which  has  already  given 
such  great  satisfaction  to  the  public,  and  which,  it  may  be  fairly  prfr 
2umea,will  become  more  and  more  popular,  in  proportion  to  the  addi« 
tioaai  advantages  whichevery  new  edition  willpossess:  itappears.inlike 
koanh^r,' necessary  to  enter  into  a  somewhat  wider  field  ot  preliminary 
observation  and  remark,  to  retouch  some  essential  parts  of^the  former 
Preface,  which  require  further  explanation,  to  sketch  out  a  more  cor« 
rea  idea  of  the  plan,  and  to  state  more  fuNy  the  many  advantages  which 
this  edition  possesses,  so  at  fully  to  justify  its  claim  to  superiority* 
^    The  most  conspicuous  feature  in  the  character  of  this  new  and  im- 
proved compilation;  is  the  attempt  to  coifrect  mistakes,  and  supply 
many  consiaerable  deficiencies,  in  the  alphabetical  register  and  notice 
of  the  several  counties,  hundreds,  towns,  villages,  &c.  of  England, 
Wales,  Scotland,  and  Ireland.    This  has  been  done,  partly,  by  con- 
fidttngthe  lai^e  maps,  actual  surveys,  &c.  and  partly  by  selecting  ma- 
ny important  and,  entertaining  articles  from  a  multiplicity  of  publica- 
tipos;  vhicb  hav^  appeared,  of  late  years,  on  different  counties,  towns, 
and  other  particular  subjects  of  topographical  description.   The  econo- 
mical writings  of  Sir  John  Sinclair  afford  a  rich  variety  of  geographi- 
ciljnatter,  illustrative  of  places  in  Scotland,  which  have  been  hitherto 
wholly  piUs^  over,  or  but  slightly  noticed,  and  which  have  been  muck 
and  long  wanted.    In  availing  himself  of  many  of  these,  the  Editor  has 
diligentl)nemployed  himself;  thus  endeavouring  to  improve  on  the  ori* 
ginal  design  of  tbi^iierformance,  (whichwai  to  introduce  a  complete 
ViLLARS  BniTANNicUM  into  the  aggregate  of  the  work),  a  plan  for 
which  the  public  are,  and  will  remain  ereatly  indebted  to  the  former 
Editor,  the  learned  and  laborious  Dr.  Walker..  This  publication,  like- 
wise, contains  some  new  and  authentic  accounts,. collected  with  a  view 
to  lopply  deficiencies  in  respect  to  particular  parts  of  Ireland,  in  the

vm  PREFACE. 

statistical  and  geographical  history  of  which  count r}',  it  Is  to  he  regrets 
•  ted,  that  we  are  still  extremely  defective. 

This  was  the  first  plan  ever  attempted,  to  comprise  so  very  compUte 
and  circumstantial  a  Vietv  of  British  and  Irish  Geography,  in  a 
work  that  otherwise  profefled  to  embrace  all  the  various  advantages  and 
excellencies  to  be  found  in  C£M£KAL  Gazetteers;  and,  in  this  re- 
spect, Dr.  Walker  may  be  said  to  have  produced  a  work  unique  in  its 
kind.  Having  (ilJed  up  the  outline,  which  he  had  taken,  and,  in  ma- 
ny respects,  accomplished  his  original  design,  (although,  as  a  first  aC« 
tpmpt,  it  was,  as  might  be  expected,  extremely  imperfect  and  defective 
in  the  execution)  it  was  evident  that,  when  announced  to  the  world,  a 
madual  so  much  wanted  only  required  to  be  known,  to  meet  with  general 
approbation ;  and,  accordingly,  on  its  first  appearance,  its  merit  and 
usefulness  were  immediately  and  universally  acknowledged.  Though 
still  confessedly  short  of  itsattainableperfection,  yet  from  the  success- 
ful cfibrts  of  the  Editor,  the  work  may  be  considered  as  having  ad- 
vanced  to  a  very  desirable  point  of  accuracy  and  fulness;  and  it  is  ma- 
terial that  the  public  should  be  made  fully  acquainted  with  a  fact  n^t 
generally  known,  that  no  other  universal  Gazetteer,  if  examined,  will 
J>e  found  so  well  adapted  to  communicate  information  relative  to  the 
present  state  of  the  British  Islands,  as  Dr«  Walker's. 

Although  a  publication  like  the  present  will  certaiitly  prove  of  great 
utility  to  all  kinds  of  readers,  as  must  be  obvious  at  the  first  inspection* 
to  every  intelligent  person,  yet  the  Editor  thinks  it  not  improper  to 
mention  a  few  particular  classes,  or  sorts  of  readers,  whom  he  has  had 
immediately  in  view,  and  for  the  use  of  whom  it  is  more  particularly 
adapted,  he  having  studied  throughout,  ta  incorporate  into  the  work^ 
complete  and  satisfactory  information  on  every  point  of  enquiry,  which 
may  be  deemed  necessary  to  he  known  by  persons  of  those  descriprions. 

He  begs  leave,  therefore,  to  recommend  it  to  the  special  attention  of 
Youth,  whether  in  a  course  of  study  at  school  or  otherwise;  for  thcf 
use,  indeed,  of  whom  it  must  appear,  at  first  view,  more  immediately  cal- 
culated, and  to  whom  it  will  prove  very  serviceable  in  a  double  respect, 
as  answering  the  purpose  of  satisfactory  reference  on  all  points  of  en- 
quiry immediately  connected  with  subjects  of  topographical  nomencla- 
ture; andastendingtofacilitatethe  knowledge  of  the  maps,  charts,  and 
of  the  terrestrial  globe. 

No  part  of  education  conduces  more  to  form  the  character  of 
YOUTH — no  kind  of  instruction  tends  moreeiFectually  todevelope  the 
latent faculties-^to  excite  a  laudable  emulation — to  elevate  the  mind — 
and  inspire  noble,  magnanimous  ideas,  than  that  which  is  derived  from  a 
COMPETENT  KNOWLEDGE  of  HISTORY.  In  proportion  as  the  stu- 
dent advances  to  perfection,  approaches  to  excellence,  in  the  acquire- 
ment of  this  sort  of  knowledge,  he  is  enabled,  with  more  energy  and 
freedom,  to  think  and  judge  for  himself. 

The  Editor,  at  least,  who  has  been  long  engaged  in  the  tuition  of 
youth,  is  of  this  opinion ;  nor  does  he  ever  recollect  to  have  met  with 
a  pupil,  earnestly  desirous  of  obtaining  the  reputation  of  a  scholar,  to 
whom  historical  and  political  researches  were  not  peculiarly  acceptable 
and  grattfuU

Bat  even  a  knoinrledge  of  history,  though  in  some  measure,  the 
groandwork  of  all  elegant  and  rational  study,  would  be  comparative- 
ly dull  and  insipid,  or,  at  least,  lose  much  of  its  value,  without  its 
great  and  essential  auxiliary — a  thorough  acquaintance  with  geogra- 
phy. Indeed,  the  latter  may  be  not  improperly  considered  as  a  use- 
fol  key  to,  aad  necessary  appendage  of  the  former ;  and  they  should 
e?er  go  hand  in  hand. 

iLis  likely,  also,  to  be  of  very  considerable  service  to  Commer- 
cial Trav£lL£RS,  to  whom. the  Editor  begs  leave  to  suggest,  that 
ciiey  have  here  an  opportunity  of  being  provided  with  an  elegant  and 
useful  Fade  Mecum;  and  to  whom  it  will  be  found  more  peculiarly 
desirable  and  convenient,  from  the  insertion  of  the  Post  Towns^ 
Market  Days j principal  Fairs,  &,c.  (omitted,  either  wholly  or  in  part, 
in  other  works  of  this  kind)  and  from  the  very  considerable  materials 
relative  to  the  present  state  of  manufactures,  the  useful  arts,  com- 
merce, shipping,  produce,  &c.  of  the  different  places  described^ 
wkicli  the  Editor  has  carefully  collected,  for  the  sole  purpose  of  en- 
nching  this  work. 

The  Editor  also  begs  leave  earnestly  to  recommend  it  as  a  suitable 
companion  for  Captains  of  Ships,  and  other  persons  embark- 
iNGon  a  SEA  VOYAGE,  who  wiil  meet  with  much  useful  instruc- 
tion in  it,  on  a  great  variety  of  subjects  more  or  less  connected  with 
navigation,  and  to  whom  it  will  even  furnish  amusement  in  the  cabin, 
in  the  cessation  of  more  important  duties.  It  is  attended  with  this 
further  advantage,  that,  considering  the  vast  mass  of  information 
which  it  conveys,  in  the  additional  quantity  of  letter-press,  from  its 
compact  form,  and  crowded  page,  it  is,  comparatively  speaking,  ex- 
tremely portable,  and  will  occupy  very  little  room  in  the  portman- 
teau or  sea-chest. 

Nor  can  be  entertain  a  doubt,  that  it  will  be  highly  acceptable  to 
Gentlemen  Tourists,  who  travel  partly  for  amusement,  and 
partly  for  the  further  polishing  and  improvement  of  a  classical  edu- 
cation. The  Lour  of  Europe  has  long  been  thought  requisite  to  adorn 
and  accomplish  the  character  of  a  gentleman — to  finish  his  studies — 
to  expand  his  ideas — and  enable  him  to  surmount  national  prejudices. 
Indeed,  for  some  years  past,  excursions  to  the  Lakes  of  Cumberland, 
«uid  other  more  distant  parts*  of  the  United  Kingdom,  have  become 
very  frequent;  and  thus  the  curious,  the  literati,  and  the  fashionable^ 
as  if  eager  to  atone  Jor  the  reproach  of  former  inattention,  have  ap- 
peared  anxious  to  do  justice  to  the  beautiful  scenes  of  nature  in  our 
own  country.  On  such  occasions  it  is  of  great  importance,  and  must 
afford  considerable  pleasure  to  the  Tourist,  to  Have  an  unassuming, 
accepuble  companion  in  the  post-CHAIS£,  that  can  fully  acquaint. 
bim  with  all  the  material  incidents  respecting  a  place,  which  had 
either  wholly  slipped  from  his  memory,  or  the  reading  of  which  he 
bad,  perhaps,  more  shamefully  neglected. 

He  likewise  hopes  that  it  will  prove  extremely  acceptable  to  real 
ANTIQUARIANS,  who  will  find  it  of  use^  on  numerous  occasions,  to 
consult  a  publication  like  the  present;  many  of  the  descriptions  con- 
tained in  it  being  very  curious  of  themselves,  well  worthy  of  atten- 
tion. 


tion»  and  calculated  io  gratify  the. taste  of  all  wbb  ixt^e  bbjectt  of 
this  nature  their  study  or  amusement. 

In  this  enlightened  age,  poi.iTics  will  necessarily  become  an  in* 
teresting  and  important  topic  of  conversation;  and  it  is  irnpossiole  for 
anv  person  even  to  run  over  a  newspaper  to  the  satisfaction  t)f  him- 
self and  others,  without  having  made  some  previous  improvemeBt  In 
pursuits  intimately  connected  with  it.  Inaeed,  a  knowledge  of  geo^ 
graphy  may  be  hot  improperly  considered  as  the  indispensible  pass* 
port  into  ail  genteel  company;  and  nothing  can  place  any  man,  who 
is  raised  a  few  degrees  above  the  vulgar,  in  a  more  contemptil^le  point 
of  view,  than  to  betray  a  total  ignorance  of  subjects  relating  to  it. 

This  compilation  will  also  be  found  very  proper  to.  be  used  as  a 
suitable  introduction  to  larger  works,  and  it  has,  in  this  respect,  the 
recommendation  of  being  extremely  well  fitted  for  the  use  and  bene- 
fit of  private  learners.  The  more  advanced  student  will  also  £nd« 
that  a  considerable  portion  of  useful  description  has  been  introduced 
into  the  work,  to  render  it  more  particular  and  satisfactory,  and  cer- 
tainly superior,  as  a  copious  abstract,  to  most,  if  not  all»  of  its 
predecessors  on  the  same  subject.  It  will  likewise,  it  is  presumed^ 
improve  and  do  great  service  to  even  the  highest  class  of  readers, 
who  will  find,  in  this  new  edition,  very  large  alterations  and  im« 
provements,  including  a  great  number  of  origmal  articles,  well  wor« 
thy  of  their  diligent  perusal. 

But  the  Editor  trusts  that  it  will  not  only  be  found  useful  as  a 
comprehensive  Dictionary  to  refer  to,  but  likewise  valuable  as  a 
work  of  general  entertainment  to  private  families  as  well  as  indivi- 
duals, particularly  to  such  readers  as  have  neither  time,  means,  noi* 
inclination,  to  search  for  information  in  larger  works;  and  even  such 
as  are  supposed  to  be  unlettered,  those,  at  least,  who  have  not  had 
the  benefit  of  a  very  liberal  education,  (of  whom  there  is  a  large  pro- 
portion both  in  town  and  country),  will  derive  singular  advantages, 
from  having  in  their  possession  a  repc^sitory  of  geographical  know- 
ledge, like  the  present,  abounding  with  such  a  rich  variety  of  novel 
and  authentic  matter. 

Fully  convinced  of  its  superior  excellence  and  utility,  the  Editor 
does  not  hesitate,  in  its  present  improved  state,  to  rest  its  merits 
with  the  public,  on  a  candid  perusal  and  examination.  Having  sue* 
ceeded  nearly  to  the  utmost  of  his  wishes,  in  his  studious  endeavours 
to  enhance  the  value  of  this  performance,  (although  it  is  not  meant 
to  be  offered  as  elaborate  or  perfect),  and  to  render  it  as  complete  as 
can  possibly  be  expected,  consistently  with  the  design  of  an  abridge 
ment,  he  indulges  the  hope,  that  it  will  be  found  sufficiently  inte- 
resting and  instructive  to  recommend  itself.  A  plain^  popular,  and 
agreeable  work,  concerted  on  so  judicious  a  plan,  and  executed  on 
so  ample  and  correct  a  scale,  so  much  exceeding  the  former  editions 
in  quantity,  and  so  superior  in  its  materials,  can  scarcely  fail  to  ob*^ 
tain  a  degree  of  public  approbation  strongly  marked;  atid  a  sale  and 
circulation,  in  some  measure,  adequate  tO|  and  commensurate  with 
its  real  importance  and  use*

To  im^ne  that  the  Earth  stands  still,  and  that  tbe  sun  rises  and  fidls,  is  a 
{Use  idea,  however  consonant  to  the  perception  of  our  senses,  and  as  romantic 
as  the  notion  that  bouses,  trees^  &c.  upon  land  are  moving  past  us,  when  we 
sail  in  a  vetoel  alo^g  tbe  shore. 

.  While  our  earth  annually  performs  an  orbit  round  tbe  snn,  the  latter  appears 
to  describe  a  circle  in  tbe  heavens,  and  we  seem  to  stand  still;  this  circle  is 
called  the  ecliptic.  The  zodiac  is  the  same  imaginary  kind  of  circle,  but  ex- 
tended to  a  considerable  breadth  on  each  side  of  tbe  ecliptic,  including  the  paths 
of  alltbe  planets.

lallels  of  latitude  or  declination,  near  23|  degrees  from  the  equator:  [the  tro- 
pics bound  the  ecliptic  in  the  heavens,  and  on  earth,  the  torrid  zone.  The 
polar  circles  are  the  same  distance  from  the  poles  as  the  tropics  are  from  the 
equator.  On  earth,  the  .temperate  zones  lie  between  the  polar  dicles  and  tio* 
pies,  the  frigid  zones  lie  within  the  polar  circles. 

Meridians  are  indefinitein  number;  their  planes  interact  that  of  the  equator 
at  right  angles. 

The  longitude  of  a  place  upon  earth,  and  the  right  ascension  of  a  heavenly 
object,  are  their  distances  from  a  certain  meridian.  Circles  of  longitude  in  the 
heavens  are  indefinite  in  number;  their  planes  intersect  that  of  the  ecliptic  at 
right  angles.  The  latitude  of  any  heavenly  object  is  its  distance  6roai  the 
ecliptic;  the  longitude  its  distance  from  that  circle  of  longitude,  which  passes 
through  the  first  point  of  Aries. 

The  horizon  is  that  circle  which  boonds  our  sight,  or  it  is  the  termination  of 
what  is  visible  to  us  of  the  sky,  when  on  the  sea,  or  an  extensive  level  plane.

The  planet!  art  attracted  by  the  sun,  and  would  be  drawn  into  it,  and  con* 
anmed,  were  it  not  for  an  impulse  they  have  received;  which  tends  to  throw 
them  off  in  a  right  line;  by  the  combination  of  these  two  forces,  (the  centri- 
petal, or  centre-seeking,  and  the  centrifugal,  or  centra-fleeing}  they  are  pre*

ANTWEK.P,  a  large,  handforoe  city  of 
Brabant,  with  a  ilrong  citadel,  featcd  on 
the  Scheldt.    About  loo  years  ago  it  was 
the  greated  place  for  trade  in  Europe ;  but 
the  civil  \yars,  that  were  the  conlequence 
of  the  tyranny  of  Philip  II.  diminiflied 
that  commerce,  which  was  almoft  annihi- 
lated in  1648,  when,  by  the  treaty  of  Mun- 
iter,  between   Spain  and  the  United  Pro- 
vinces, t'ije  navigation  of  the  Schel()t  to 
largvi  fliips,  was   fliut.     Upon  the  Seven 
United  States  of  Holland  being  thus  de- 
clared a  free  ftate,  and  the  navig:ition  of 
the  Scheldt  yielded  to  them,  the  Dutch 
built  forts  upon  the  river,  to  hinder  all 
ihips  from  coming  up,except  fuch  as  paid 
themcntloin,  and  after  that  time  the  trade, 
was  principally  removed  tiom  Antwerp 
to  Amllerdam,  till  then  an  inconfiderable 
town;  but   by  the   late   revolutions,   ail 
thefe  reftriilions  arc  done  away.     The 
tireets  of  Antwerp  are  large  and  regular, 
in  number  aiz,  befides  which  are  12  pub- 
lic fqmres:  the  harbour  is  very  commodi- 
ous, the  river  being  400  yards  wide,  and, 
at  the  time  of  high  water  ii   feet  deep  ^ 
£0  that  large  vcffels  may  come  up  to  the 
quay  ;  and,  by  the  canals  from  the  river, 
to  the  doors  of  the  houfes.     The  public 
buildings  are  very  handfome,  and,  at  leaft, 
900  in  number.  The  exchange  coft  300,000 
crowns.    From  this  building  Sir  Thomas 
Grelh^m  took  the  model  of  the  Royal  Ex- 
change, in  London,  as  did  the  burghers 
of  Amllerdam  that  of  theirs.    The  town- 
boufe  is  a  grand  piece  of  iuchiteclure,  and 
ftanJs  in  the  great  market  pbce.     The 
houi'e  of  the  Hanfe  towns,  built  for  the 
accommodation    of  the  Oolterlingen,   or 
eaftcrn   merchants  from  the  Baltic,  is  a

On  the  N.  fide  of  the  wall  is  the  harbour 
where  veffels  lie  fafe  at  anchor  with  an 
open  fea  to  the  N.     On  the  S.  fide  of  the

of  Dublin  is  extenfive,  and  fince. the  eman-

of  Great  Britain,  it  has  increafed  furprif- 
ingly,  and  is  itill  improving  j  but  the  bar 
at  the  entrance  of  the  harbour  renders  the
